MLB power rankings: The best road records through roughly 100 games

5) MLB Power Rankings: Arizona Diamondbacks

It has been hot in the desert this summer, and it isn’t just because of the rising mercury that has tormented Phoenix in recent days. The Diamondbacks are playing solid baseball, both inside Chase Field and away from home as well, going 28-21 on the road. Those road successes will be tested at the end of the month with a trip to San Francisco and Minnesota, both teams that, like the Diamondbacks, are expected to be better after the trade deadline.

4) MLB Power Rankings: Cincinnati Reds

Who says that young players may get intimidated playing on the road? Cincinnati’s young stars like Elly De La Cruz, Spencer Steer and Matt McLain have been a part of the Reds posting a 27-20 mark away from home in 2023. There are plenty of things that seem to be going right for the Reds right now, but will it continue with a long road stretch starting on Monday that will take the team to Milwaukee, Los Angeles (Dodgers) and Chicago (Cubs)? This could be a division-changing stretch for Cincinnati.

3) MLB Power Rankings: Houston Astros

They’re the defending World Champions, so is it any wonder that the Astros are this high on the list. This is battled-tested team that is always facing a hostile environment wherever it goes, so Houston’s ability to go 30-22 on the road is a testament to the team’s talent and mental toughness. We’re already looking ahead to August 3 when the Astros play consecutive three-game series in New York against the Yankees and in Baltimore.

2) MLB Power Rankings: Baltimore Orioles

Baltimore showed it had the ability to contend for a postseason spot last year, and an impressive 30-18 mark away from Camden Yards this season is showing that the Orioles learned from their experiences of a year ago. Trips to Philadelphia and New York for the Yankees over the next two weeks will provide another glimpse into just how real these Orioles are.

1) MLB Power Rankings: Atlanta Braves

When you have the best overall record in the league, it shouldn’t be a surprise that you have the best road record as well, and that’s just what the Braves have done this season so far, recording a 31-15 mark away from Truist Park. A two-game set in Boston awaits this week, Atlanta’s only road test before the MLB trade deadline. Atlanta could get better before its next long road trip, and that’s a scary thought for the other 29 MLB teams.
